RUDE graffiti which was daubed on a wall in a children's park has been covered after a mother called for its removal.

Lauren Wainwright, 23, spotted the graffiti, which showed a penis, on a yellow wall at the park near Bank Street in Highbridge while she was walking to Asda with her seven-year-old step-son on Friday (March 29).

The mother of one said she was 'upset' after seeing the graffiti on the wall and she thinks the council needs to do more to get rid of graffiti quickly.

But a spokesman for Sedgemoor District Council said the graffiti has now been covered up and the owners of the building will repaint the wall.

The spokesman said: "We have obscured the graffiti and asked the football club to repaint.

"Due to the surface of the building, the graffiti cannot be removed by powerwashing.

"The owners will need to repaint the wall."
